So, it appears that “The One” is going begging to Don Clinton, hat in hand: The One strides in confidently and extends his hand to The Don. The Don looks up, contemplates the proffered hand, and watches The One’s smile fade as it is not shaken. The One retracts his hand, and tilts his head, comprehending, but not liking it. Still, he needs this meeting. Don Clinton nods slightly, and with a silky hand motions The One to take a... Read more
:::BUMPED::: Bang out the box, I am disappointed to read that my girl-crush, Donna Brazille is mouthing a stupid meme from earlier this week. I always expect better of her. AJ Strata has the rundown: Today on CNN’s Situation Room Blitzer (who cuts off all good points favoring the GOP) had Donna Brazile and James Carville demonstrate the SNAFU status in the DC/NY Media and liberal talking heads. At one point in the show Donna Brazile tried to cement the... Read more
This might seem like small potatoes, but it comes down – again – to the press reporting one way for one candidate (“a crowd of 75,000″ comes out for Obama, but no mention of the free concert that went with his appearance) and another way (“more than 1000” people come out for McCain in Cedarberg, WI – but people who were there say more like 12,000) for another. It is true that 12,000 is “more than 1,000.” One paper reported... Read more
Bill Whittle, writing at NRO, nails it; he explains why the left is having so much trouble “getting” Palin. And why, when CNN uses the spectacularly unsympathetic son-tasing “poor fired trooper” to hurt Palin, it backfires on them. The elites don’t understand how much every part of her story resonates with us in one way or another. She is so absolutely, remarkably, spectacularly ordinary. I think the magic of Sarah Palin speaks to a belief that so many of us... Read more

Button, button, who’s got the button? McCain/Palin merchandise is flying off the shelves. Meanwhile, my pal Shana (she runs that rosary bracelet business in the right column ad) reports that she’s enjoying watching her buttons run huge numbers popular on facebook flair – not that I actually know what that means – but if you want to make your own buttons, while you’re waiting for “official” ones, these Palin vs Obama buttons are getting a lot of hits here. Although... Read more
I’ve been an imperfect servant of my country for many years. But I have been her servant first, last and always. And I’ve never lived a day, in good times or bad, that I didn’t thank God for the privilege. — John McCain, Sept 4, 2008 Sen. John McCain is not a natural at the teleprompter, and his speech was at least ten minutes too long, but he struck the right tones, and the last twenty minutes of his speech... Read more
After reading the griping from the left that Gov. Palin was “too snarky” and “disrespectful” to Obama (who, if he wants to be president will have to get as tough as President Bush in the face of criticism), I asked Shana if she could create a new button, with the words “Audacity & Hope” or “Audacious & Hopeful.” She did a great job! More Shana Buttons Here I like the button so much, I’ll keep it at top for the... Read more
I feel like I am drowning in news, there is so much of it. I had not planned to, but I am going to – in the face of all of this news – continue the Insta-pundity format I used yesterday, which helps make things more readable, I think. What do you think? Please let a comment and tell me if you hate it or like it. Oh, what did “I” think of the speech? I thought she was actually... Read more
:::Latest Round Up Is HERE and this morning’s round up, as well!:::END Next big challenge: the debate, and Biden is a tough guy. Reckless, but tough. There is a general consensus, from reading around, that the Obama camp coming and with “hey, someone WROTE that speech for her” was an incredibly dumb move. Incredibly lame and laughable. What was interesting to me was hearing the newsgasbags mentioning “she did not write the speech” before the Obama camp’s statement was released.... Read more
